I told the dude 100 times in the Hillary thread how stupid he was for offering such odds when you could go to Bovada or SB.ag or any other place and get around -350. If he's that dumb, #### him.
Um, congrats?So last night we put the kids to bed early. My wife lit some candles. I grabbed a bottle of wine and put on my favorite Panties Dropper CD. I'll keep it PG and say we hugged so much it would've made @Nathan R. Jessep and Marissa blush. Hell, my arms have never been so sore.
To think we've been together for 19 years and can still hug like we are teenagers.
I'm not a gambler so when those bets were going down it didn't register. In hindsight it should have been a big red flag to those making the bets. Maybe if he capped the bets at like 10 or 20 bucks to make some friendly wagers but this seems like he was hoping to get a few hundred or just bail.
He got action out of people who wouldn't bet at -350. He was cocky and it killed him.
So your premise isn't that he never intended to pay but he was so cocky he never thought he'd lose? Maybe, and again, I'm not a gambler, but I would assume you always consider what happens if you lose, no? My bigger point is the people betting with him shouldn't be that surprised - the only conclusion I can come to is that he never intended to pay, which is a shame.
I honestly don't think he ever thought he would have to pay. How many people have Donald a chance? Now throw in his own bias.
This is total bs. I probably wagered with people on this site well over 5 figures total and never been stiffed and always paid. 99% of people in the poker games paid.I think the only surprising thing here is that you have a bunch of guys on the internet who made a wager, at dubious odds, with a stranger on the internet, and expected to get paid.
You're not out anything - you never had anything to begin with...
@cstu - when you get this - send what you can to a Veterans Organization - I'm good with that, and consider us square.
The last 15+ pages have been about this. I have caught up and each page has been hilariously entertaining.
My memory of the poker games was that we paid up front.
I get Sein's point now that I've thought about it more. What was cstu's motivation for giving those odds? I can only assume because he didn't have the money to make a real bet and was hoping to make some easy cash. In light of that it's not that difficult to believe that someone who is anonymous would just take off - especially if his wife would be pissed. I know if I lost 2k on wagers here my wife would be pissed. Granted, I could pay but not everyone can.
Stupid ctsu got caught up in all the hysteria. Post after post guys like capella were spouting that it would be a historic landslide . They believed their own narrative . Then you have Otis chumming the waters to bet , all these rubes fell for it. You never ever know exactly what is going to happen with an election.
why wasnt it. Squistion 
Really enjoying the victoy, huh?Stupid ctsu got caught up in all the hysteria. Post after post guys like capella were spouting that it would be a historic landslide .

CTSU was one of the most obnoxious progressives here in the FFA . The chump believed the hype.
Cockiness? Maybe he's such a true believer that he couldn't fathom everyone didn't think like him.
I collected the first week or so but it was a PITA so people just paid the next day after they loss and went on like that for a year. Smurf turf was the only welsher.
I think it is just stupidity. He wasn't the only one touting stupid odds/wagers in the Hillary thread. One dude in there laid $2500 to win $250. I asked him if he made a habit of betting -1000 moneylines. His response was "I'm smart enough to pick up money when I see it on the ground."
I really didn't think there were that many dumb uneducated racists left in America. I was wrong. My eyes have been opened I admit.Stupid ctsu got caught up in all the hysteria.

I may be wrong but I think I heard this morning that Trump won the majority of whites with college degreesI really didn't think there were that many dumb uneducated racists left in America. I was wrong. My eyes have been opened I admit.
So zero dollars?I think the only surprising thing here is that you have a bunch of guys on the internet who made a wager, at dubious odds, with a stranger on the internet, and expected to get paid.

Oh my..,please find this post and quote it.I think it is just stupidity. He wasn't the only one touting stupid odds/wagers in the Hillary thread. One dude in there laid $2500 to win $250. I asked him if he made a habit of betting -1000 moneylines. His response was "I'm smart enough to pick up money when I see it on the ground."
"In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This is by far the widest gap in support among college graduates and non-college graduates in exit polls dating back to 1980"

I don't like Trump, but you don't really believe every person who voted for him was a narrow minded racist, do you?I really didn't think there were that many dumb uneducated racists left in America. I was wrong. My eyes have been opened I admit.
If you do then if follows that the majority of the voting public in America are narrow minded racists.
This - the guy just basically squandered 12 years and almost 65k posts over a wager that he obviously couldn't afford, or he is the biggest dbag here... One or the other.
I'm not, I took the bet and figured he'd pay the $700, I mean just about everyone here could cover that I assume, as he started taking more wagers my skepticism crept in. Whatever, good riddance.
I've earned about $12 so far in entertainment from this, the majority of the juice has been without the worst poster on forum chiming in for the last 2 pages.
This is what I'm left with at this point.
I think his post was just a
being the wise-(see edit) he is .
I'd hold no ill will if he stepped in and took his lumps like a man, almost have more respect for him stepping into this #### storm, but it is looking like he is a huge dbag and prob won't.
Thinking that this is why Trump won, is the reason why Trump won.I really didn't think there were that many dumb uneducated racists left in America. I was wrong. My eyes have been opened I admit.
Oh man, that is fantastic. Those couple of pages were a treat to read. The arrogance and condescending attitudes were flowing high that day.
